ROMs have INSTRUMENTs [sample data]
ROMs have PRESETS [parameter data]
ROMs may also have DEMO SEQUENCES [sequence data]

For each layer {L1, L2, L3, L4] in any preset you can assign any ROM 
INSTRUMENT from any ROM physically located in your E-Mu.  So, you can 
take an MP preset and point any layer to use the sample data from any 
other ROM INSTRUMENT in your E-Mu.

If you like what you have, you can save the preset as a user preset.  
If you then remove the ROM that has the sample data your user preset 
uses, that layer will not work.

I hope this helps.

ADDENDUM:                 How to do it:
1.  Select Edit Preset
2.  Go to the second menu [INSTRUMENT]
3.  Select the layer you want to change
4.  Cursor right once [ROM]
5.  Select the ROM you want
6.  Select the ROM INSTRUMENT you want

Note: you can select ROM INSTRUMENT by
--number
--prefix
--name

So if you want to test a different kit: or prc: sample,
select that prefix and cursor right to scroll through the various 
kit: or prc: samples.  Samples will be displayed based on the order 
they are found in the ROM, beginning with the lowest ROM ID. 

Hope this helps.
